As observed over and over on CP, it appears that trolls who create accounts to vandalize pages for a mere fifteen minutes of fame don't learn that vandalism is simply pointless and a lousy waste of time. The following below highlights exactly why such is the case.
Some vandals are very easy to spot
Here's what many vandal accounts and their edits look like in Special:RecentChanges (which is directly linked in the left side bar, just below the "Main Page" link):
- (diff | hist) Donald Trump; 20:22 . . (-107,158) . . EyeYamKnotSmart (Talk | contribs) (Blanked the page)
- (User creation log); 20:20 . . User account EyeYamKnotSmart (Talk | contribs) was created
Because most trolls who prioritize vandalizing pages don't create their user pages or user talk pages, those links show up in a dark red color, which is very noticeable due to contrasting with most active, faithful users that have already created their respective user and user talk pages. Furthermore, because the number showing the net difference in byte count from the edit is very low, it is obvious that a massive amount of content has been removed.
